He told reporters on Monday, “We did not protest the cremation but we were disappointed as they (Seng Khasi, Mylliem) disrespected the authority of the Dorbar Shnong.”

A delegation of the traditional heads of Madan Ing Syiem, Mylliem met the Deputy Commissioner, East Khasi Hills, PS Dkhar pertaining to a news items that appeared in a vernacular which stated that the Dorbar Shnong has apologize over the incident.

Khyriem said, “We did not apologize. This has shed poor light on the Dorbar Shnong.”

On the demand of the Seng Khasi to punish the people involved in the protest, he said that even the action of the Seng Khasi, Mylliem has to be scrutinized.

“They (Seng Khasi, Mylliem) did not communicate with the Dorbar Shnong with regard to the cremation,” he said.
